Trump lifts ban on dickhead hunters like his son to bring back ‘trophies’ from Africa
President Donald Dump is back at it again, so dumpy. This time his fuckboy shenanigans are looking to threaten the lives of elephants in Zambia and Zimbabwe.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced plans to roll back the elephant trophy import ban, which will allow poachers to bring back the endangered animal’s tusks or other body parts as trophies.
The planned move comes two years after Cecil the lion was killed by some stupid dentist from Minnesota when he dipped out of the protected Zimbabwe national park.
The elephant trophy import policy was originally instilled by President Obama, boy do we miss you, in order to save African elephants and other ivory tusked animals.
One African elephant is killed every 15 minutes. The African elephant population has decreased by 30 percent between 2007 and 2014, with poaching the primary reason for the decline, according to a report released last year.
Was the move a family interest as Dump and his sons, Dump Jr. and Eric, fuck with killing beautiful endangered animals for fun? Most likely.
Trump Jr. has posted pictures of him holding an elephant’s tail, hanging an alligator, and hugging a dead leopard.

THIS IS A FAMILY OF MONSTERS!
You already know conservation groups are clapping back. Elly Pepper, a deputy director of the National Resources Defense Council, spoke to Reuters in a phone interview, saying,
“I‘m shocked and outraged. I expect nothing less from our president, and if he thinks this is going to go down without a fight, he’s wrong.”
The Elephant Project, which is dedicated to protecting the lives of pachyderms Tweeted, “Reprehensible behavior by the Trump Admin. 100 elephants a day are already killed. This will lead to more poaching.”

Regardless of how many conservation groups and people clap back to this inhumane plan to lift the ban, big game hunting supporters feel that the policy removal could help.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said in a statement,
“Legal, well-regulated sport hunting as part of a sound management program can benefit certain species by providing incentives to local communities to conserve the species and by putting much-needed revenue back into conservation.”
People have been known to pay up to $50,000 in animal tracking fees.
Wayne Pacelle, president and chief executive of the Humane Society thinks it’s a “nefarious pay-to-slay arrangement,” he wrote in a blog post,
“It’s a venal and nefarious pay-to-slay arrangement that Zimbabwe has set up with the trophy hunting industry…”
Pacelle continued on what kind of message this could send to the world,
“What kind of message does it send to say to the world that poor Africans who are struggling to survive cannot kill elephants in order to use or sell their parts to make a living, but that it’s just fine for rich Americans to slay the beasts for their tusks to keep as trophies?”
Like, this is not ok

SMH! Hopefully, the trophy import ban is not lifted.
We can only wait and see what comes from this stupid plan. For now, express your anger on Twitter.
